Dell R740 1U rack server

The Dell R740 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules and eight 1.92 TB SAS RI SSDs managed by an H730P RAID controller. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise and networking includes two 10 Gb RJ45 plus two 1 Gb RJ45 ports.

Suits dense virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration suits organisations that need high core density and fast local storage in a single rack unit. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5 inch drive bays or additional PCIe expansion beyond the available Gen 3 slots should evaluate larger chassis options.

Eight 1.92 TB SAS SSDs on H730P

The storage subsystem centres on eight 1.92 TB SAS RI SSDs connected to the H730P controller, delivering hardware RAID for redundancy and performance. This drive count and interface determine whether the server meets capacity and throughput requirements for the intended workload.

Questions about this item

What thermal limit appears first when both Gold 6132 CPUs run at 2.6 GHz under sustained load?

The 1100 W redundant power supplies set the thermal ceiling before the CPUs throttle.

How much power does the R740 draw with 16 DDR4 modules and eight 1.92 TB SAS drives active all day?

Peak system draw stays within the 1100 W redundant PSU rating.

Which network cables must I provide for the Intel X550 10 Gb and 1 Gb RJ45 ports?

Standard Cat6a or better Ethernet cables for the four RJ45 connections.
